As horrific as the injuries were that Knox County's chief medical
examiner saw when she examined the bodies of this young couple, it was
the wounds she didn't see that struck her most.

"I've never seen a case with this array of injuries when you didn't
have some measure of resistance," Dr. Darinka Mileusnic-Polchan told
jurors in Knox County Criminal Court on Friday.

Yet, there was not one bruise on Christopher Newsom's body, not one
broken fingernail on Channon Christian's hands to indicate either
tried to defend themselves or escape, she said.

"It's just hard to believe a healthy young girl would not have
resisted," she said. "I've never seen it … It would be hard to believe
… no running away or kicking (by Newsom, whose hands were bound). What
has he got to lose?"

The lack of defensive wounds combined with the severity of the
injuries, the length of the attacks and the elaborateness of the
bindings left this medical examiner with only one conclusion.

"It is hard to imagine one person could do all this,"
Mileusnic-Polchan told jurors. "It would be highly unlikely to be one
person acting alone."

The medical examiner's graphic, chilling testimony detailed what
Christian, 21, and Newsom, 23, suffered after their January 2007
kidnapping. Her testimony capped the end of the state's weeklong case
against suspect Letalvis Cobbins.

Cobbins is the first of four defendants to be tried. He faces death if
convicted. Awaiting trial are his brother and alleged ringleader
Lemaricus Davidson, Cobbins' girlfriend Vanessa Coleman and friend
George Thomas. Accused but so far uncharged is Eric Boyd, serving an
18-year prison term for his conviction in federal court to being an
accessory to the carjacking that launched the crime spree that claimed
the couple's life.

Cobbins contends it was Davidson and Boyd who kidnapped the couple,
Boyd who raped and killed Newsom, and Davidson who sexually savaged
Christian and stuffed her to die by suffocation inside a trash can in
his Chipman Street house. He insists neither he nor Thomas nor Coleman
had any idea of what the pair planned. He concedes orally raping
Christian and the lesser crimes of facilitating the fatal crime spree
by failing to stop it.

Prosecutors Takisha Fitzgerald and Leland Price counter that Cobbins
was an equal partner-in-crime with big brother Davidson and the
others. Cobbins was, Price argued later Friday, "up to his neck" in
involvement in the attacks.

That debate between the prosecutors and defenders Scott Green and Kim
Parton made Mileusnic-Polchan's opinions - given the legal weight of
expert testimony - vital.

That clear in Green's cross-examination when he pushed the doctor on
her assertion that each of these slayings could not have been the work
of one person.



The showdown

It had all the markings of a classic clash of legal titans.

A Croatian by birth and U.S. citizen by choice, the slightly built
doctor has never been accused of timidity among the defense bar. She
delivers testimony with an air of authority. Her accent is strong, and
she talks fast. She speaks directly to the jury. She rarely hesitates
in her answers, and she isn't afraid to argue, even when she draws a
gentle rebuke from a judge.

Green is a former prosecutor. He still adopts the style he learned,
first as a protegee of Sevier County's capital murder king Al
Schmutzer Jr. and second as Knox County prosecution chief Randy
Nichols' go-to guy. His voice booms. He uses questions like tools, a
scalpel when carving out a point for his side or a hammer when
smashing through a wall of resistance.

On Friday, Green needed to do both with Mileusnic-Polchan's
cross-examination, cutting slices of opinion minimizing Cobbins'
alleged role and bashing the notion that Christian and Newsom could
not have died without his help.

She refused to budge, however.

"You can't say Letalvis Cobbins caused any injuries suffered by (the
couple)," Green pressed.

"A forensic pathologist is never called to court to point a finger at
a (particular) defendant," she countered. "A forensic pathologist
comes to court to speak for the victims. I'm not here to tell you who
did what. I'm here to tell you how they suffered, and (these attacks)
took a long time."

The suffering

Using gruesome photographs displayed on a movie-size screen,
Mileusnic-Polchan detailed that suffering in a courtroom packed with
relatives and friends of the slain couple.

Newsom, she said, was raped both by an object and at least one person.
DNA tests were inconclusive as to identity. The sexual assault would have
occurred soon after the kidnapping and, at most, a couple of hours before
his death, she said.

His hands were tied behind his back. His ankles eventually were bound with
a belt. Socks were stuffed in his mouth. A bandana was tied around his eyes.
A sweatshirt was placed over his head and tied with his own shoelaces around
his neck. He was shot three times - once in the lower back, once in the upper
back shoulder near his neck, and once execution-style to the side of his head.
His body was then set on fire.

Mileusnic-Polchan said Christian was kept alive for more than 12 hours
and perhaps as long as a full day. The attack on her took place over
time, she said.

Early on in the attack, she was orally raped, causing a membrane in her mouth to
be torn, the doctor testified. She was raped vaginally and anally - more than once -
over the course of her captivity, Mileusnic-Polchan said. At some point a few hours
before her death, someone attacked her genital region, likely kicking her and
perhaps even striking that area with an object, she said.

"This was no simple rape," she said.

Christian was hog-tied and her lower body stuffed inside five different large
black trash bags. A small white plastic grocery bag was wrapped around her
face, and she was pushed down into a trash can. The medical examiner said
she suffocated to death. Her eyes were still partially open when she died.



Watch the faggot national media downplay the story.

This is very sad. Its difficult for our news media to ever lump this
as hate crimes . Its pathetic we allowed so many people to live here
to do harm to us. If our news wanted to portray us as violent they
could .
Instead they say very little. A policy of accepted violence is like
accepted power oil lobby and coal have for polluters.
So many people are getting hurt in US its sad. We need to do more
without hating back.
like telling the truth.
building more jails?
putting violent crimes away for long time.
